Genetic parameters and response to selection for live weight in the GIFT strain of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Genetic improvement programs can increase the productivity of cultured aquatic species. Their rigorous design requires knowledge about parameters such as herit-ability and correlations among the traits under selection. ...
Can the global adoption of genetically improved farmed fish increase beyond 10%, and how?
Type: Journal Article
The annual production from global aquaculture has increased rapidly from 2.6 million tons or 3.9% of the total supply of fish, shellfish and mollusks in 1970, to 66.7 million tons or 42.2% in 2012, while capture fisheries ...
Performances of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth rate after three generations
Type: Journal Article
A selective breeding study for live weight based on a fully pedigreed population of GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain was carried out at the Aquaculture Extension Centre, Department of Fisheries, Jitra, ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Response to five generations of selection for increased body weight at harvest in Oreochromis niloticus and the further impact of the project
Type: Journal Article
Selection for increased body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was carried out for five generations from 1991 to 1996, as a part of the project Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT). The ...
